One of Bollywood’s most serious actors, Manoj Bajpayee, has a long list of successful films in his career and many memorable performances to his credit. He is one of the few actors who have dabbled in various genres of cinema proving his talent in each one of them. Having celebrated his birthday recently, we have commemorated some of his iconic dialogues that have definitely struck a chord with the audience.

How can we forget his performance as Sardar Khan in Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012). That film has so many memorable dialogues. This one below is the one we liked the best.

Here’s another good one from Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012). Told you, the film is treasure chest of impactful dialogues.

The next one is from Satyagraha (2013). The film featured Manoj Bajpayee as Balram Singh, a young politician who has a sharp tongue combined with sharper wit.

Yes guys! Its Gangs Of Wasseypur once again. This one below showcases just how mean and sarcastic Sardar Khan in Gangs Of Wasseypur (2012) was.

Another one of our favourites is from Aarakshan (2011) where Manoj Bajpayee’s character, the cunning Mithilesh Singh, teaches Amitabh Bachchan some maths!

While we’re already listing some of his iconic dialogues, we couldn’t help but inculde his super-hit crime film ‘Satya’ (1998). His character Bhiku Mahtre is sure to take you back to the 1990’s.

Manoj Bajpayee played the role of Veerendra Pratap, a smart and clever politician in Rajneeti (2010). Here he is seen giving the much needed un-hinged advice to his fellow colleagues.

Manoj Bajpayee as Zubair Imtiaz Haksar in ‘Shoot Out At Wadala’ (2013). With his strong screen presence, he nailed the ‘badass gangsta’ character. Add to that is the dialogue below that definitely steals the show.

The next line is from his thriller film, Road (2002) where he dons the character of a psychopath killer. He sure has given other actors a run for their money!

Lastly, we wont do the actor justice if we don’t include one last dialogue from ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ (2012)!

http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/confirmed-hrithik-roshan-and-katrina-kaif-not-doing-zoya-akhtars-next/#commentsWed, 08 Oct 2014 05:00:08 +0000http://www.bollywoodlife.com/?p=403713Rumours have been doing the rounds that Duggu and Kat will be seen together once again in Zoya’s next but sadly that’s not the case…

Apart from high octane action sequences, what really worked in the favour of Siddharth Anand’s latest film Bang Bang is the chemistry of lead pair. Yes, we are talking about Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif. The duo first came together in Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and scorched the big screen with their crackling chemistry. Even in their second film Bang Bang their chemistry has been appreciated widely. So we won’t be surprised if filmmakers queue up to sign this hot jodi. In fact, it was being said that Zoya had signed HR and Kat for her next venture as well which is titled Road. However, when we recently caught up with the honey-eyed actor and asked him about the same, he rubbished all the reports.

We asked the Krrish 3 actor if he was doing Zoya’s film along with Ms Kaif. He directly told us, “No…these reports are false.” That’s not all! Media reports have been claiming that Jr Roshan is also teaming up with his dad once again but even that’s not true. The B-town hunk said, “There have been reports that I am joining hands with my dad but that’s not true as well.”

Looks like Duggu and Kat are on a roll. After Bang Bang, the two have apparently been roped in for a prestigious project. Read on to know full scoop…

Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif’s chemistry in Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was nothing less than electrifying. No wonder, Sidharth Anand signed the duo for his directorial venture Bang Bang which is slated to release in October this year. While we can’t wait to watch Jr Roshan and Ms Kaif’s latest offering, we hear the two have bagged yet another project. How exciting is that? Rumours are rife that the Dhoom:3 babe will be seen opposite the honey-eyed actor in Zoya’s next which is titled Road. Interestingly, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol will also star in film. Guess its a reunion of sorts for the whole ZNMD team! We hope this news is indeed true coz Hrithik and Katrina are certainly the sexiest onscreen couple in Bollywood at the moment, right peeps?

However, no official announcement has been made regarding the same so far. But let’s hope we hear one pretty soon. Because we all remember what happened last time when Zoya came together with Hrithik, Kat, Farhan and Abhay, hai na?

Abhay Deol’s name has often popped up with Kareena Kapoor for Bombay Samurai. But the actor says he is not part of the Dev Benegal-directed venture. Abhay, who was last seen in his home production One By Two, took to microblogging site Twitter to clear the air. “So many reports about me doing Bombay Samurai. Not true! Love Dev Benegal’s work though. My best wishes to him and all involved,” Abhay, who had teamed up with Benegal in critically acclaimed Road, Movie, tweeted Sunday.

Recently, there were also reports that Hrithik Roshan will do a cameo role in the film. Kareena, who will be seen with Farhan Akhtar in Bombay Samurai, has labelled it as a “very whacky film”.

Kareena Kapoor Khan, who is excited about working with Farhan Akhtar in the film Bombay Samurai, says it will be a very whacky one and she will be seen in a role unexpected from her.

“The director is from New York who has made slightly international cinema – Dev Benegal. So, it’s a very interesting concept,” the 33-year-old said here during the making of a green tea ad film.

“It’s not a thriller, it’s a very whacky film, something which my fans would not expect me to do,” she added.

Benegal is known for films like Road, Movie, Split Wide Open and English August.

Kareena added that Bombay Samurai will be the first of its kind film which will have both an international and a commercial release.

“I am doing a very interesting film which is going to star Farhan Akhtar and me. I have never worked with Farhan, he directed me in Don when I did the song. It’s also going to be an international film which is going to be the first of its kind, which will get an international release apart from releasing in mainstream cinema here,” she said.

Born on September 3, 1976, Vivek Oberoi made his Bollywood debut in 2002 with Ram Gopal Varma’s Company. His performance in the film earned him a lot of acclaim. He also bagged a lot of awards that year in the Best Male Debut and Best Supporting Actor categories.

After Company, Vivek impressed the audiences with his heartwarming performance in Shaad Ali’s Saathiya opposite Rani Mukerji. The film was a huge box office success. After this, he did Road and Dum, but both these films bombed at the BO.

After the initial movies, he did quite a few multi-starrers, which fared well. These include, Masti, Yuva, Omkara, Shootout at Lokhandwala and Rakhta Charitra. His last film Kismat Love Paisa Dilli (KLPD) opposite Mallika Sherawat released in 2012 but did not do well in theatres.

This year, Vivek will be seen in two films. After the release of Grand Masti that will hit the screens on September 13, his next big release is Rakesh Roshan’s Krrish 3 in which Vivek plays the main antagonist along with Kangna Ranaut. The film’s lead star Hrithik Roshan was so impressed with the evil character essayed by Vivek that he wanted to play it himself! But of course, his director dad was not convinced. Hrithik went on to say that Vivek has done a fab job in the movie. Now that trivia sounds interesting, doesn’t it?

Here’s wishing Vivek a very happy birthday and we hope he has a successful year ahead. Do send in your birthday wishes for Bollywood’s newest villain!

Tannishtha Chatterjee may not enjoy a star status in India, but the talented actor is well known in the international film circuit for her acting prowess. She made people sit up and take notice with the 2008 British film Brick Lane. she was also seen in Road, Movie opposite Abhay Deol. And now, Tannishtha has bagged the coveted title of the best actress at the New York Film festival for her scintillating performance in Dekh Indian Circus.

“I feel so good. Dekh Indian Circus has been a special film. It has won a lot of awards at other prestigious film festivals across Asia and other places in the world. Personally, it has been a challenging role for me. I had to put on a lot of weight. It also required a different body language, and entailed working with people from different backgrounds. Actors are part of the director’s vision, that’s why the credit needs to go to my director. I am glad that my performance in the film has been recognised and audiences’s around the world have loved it,” said Tannishtha in an interview to a daily

Directed by Mangesh Hadawale, Dekh Indian Circus is an entertaining metaphor for rural India’s struggle to access the supposed economic boom of the flourishing Indian metros, and Tannishtha plays the role of a resilient mother, who inculcates great values in her children, in the face of adversity.

http://www.bollywoodlife.com/news-gossip/tanishtha-chatterjee-i-love-the-madness-of-bollywood-but-hey-it-is-madness/#respondWed, 04 Jan 2012 07:24:06 +0000http://www.bollywoodlife.com/?p=68223For those with a taste for world cinema and an inclination for art-house films Tannishtha Chatterjee’s restrained performances are an unmistakable delight. In a freewheeling chat the Brick Lane gal talks about her tryst with acting, her upcoming films and why she has remained a not-so-known face for the average filmgoer

It is surprising that actor Tannishtha Chatterjee, often referred to as the ‘queen of parallel cinema’ in India, can walk along a crowded street in Mumbai without getting mobbed. The fine performer has acted in several international films so far, and is currently doing Joe Wright’s ambitious film Anna Karenina alongside global heavyweights Jude Law and Keira Knightley! On home turf, she was seen in Abhay Deol’s Road, Movie, but she has done numerous plays on an international platform, bagged enviable acclaim for her performance in the British film Brick Lane and yet few know here in India. Doesn’t this anonymity bother the performer in her?

“Not really! I love the fact that I am an actor and a very normal human being. So even if mass recognition comes my way, I don’t think I will be able to lead an isolated and enigmatic life like stars do. Just the other day my mother was complaining that she has stopped feeling curious about any actor any more. And she’s is absolutely right when she says that. There was a time when actors were seen only on the big screen and very rarely got written about. So there was a ring of mystery about them. Nowadays stars have become easily accessible. You can meet them in concerts, see them doing film promotions and marketing gimmicks.They’re all around. So there’s nothing unusual for an actor to walk on the street and not get noticed,” says Tannishtha with throaty laughter. After taking a long walk with her we arrive on the sets of BMW.
